Fitness & Gyms in Vacaville, CA

“This isn't my home gym and I didn't sign up here either, they actually have really good staff and people here have been very friendly, would recommend this place.”

“Friendly gym environment and good workouts. Coaches are good, encouraging, and focus on correcting form. Classes are fun and keep me consistent. I enjoy the variety and mixture of movements.”

“Sensei Silvestre and Thayla are the dynamic duo that make Carlson Gracie Vacaville the best place to learn grappling in the area. Sensei has decades of experience and you get to learn both BJJ AND judo under the same roof from a proven MMA fighter. My whole family goes and the place has a very family vibe.”

“Still the best Gym in Vacaville but it was better when it was Gold Gym. They let people in wearing jeans and boots which and the bathrooms need to be cleaned more often. Plus no one puts the weights back. Still though by far the best gym in Vacaville.”

“I love this gym! I’m new, and everyone here has made me feel welcomed. The workouts are challenging, motivating, and fun!

Kayla, andrew, and Joey all have been amazing. Thank you Orange theory, this gym is so much fun!

Kayla is passionate about exercise, she keeps you motivated, and is personable. This is why most of her classes are packed. She’s an asset to Orange theory Vacaville!!

Thank you orange theory!!”

“I started coming to this gym about a year ago and I love it! Great workouts that are about an hour long. I usually go at 6PM and Alyssa is a good coach. They gotten new equipment which are so nice and I will miss the people and the community when I move.”

“Fortitude Fitness and Endurance is a great place to start or continue your fitness journey. All fitness levels are welcome and workouts can be tailored to fit your goals. Frank is knowledgeable and a pro-active coach. It's been great incorporating Deka/Spartan training into my fitness journey.”

“I have nothing but spectacular things to say about this gym. I love coming here! The first thing to note is it is different from a regular commercial gym: it is a barbell club, meaning the movements are designed around the barbell, and this is primarily a training place for powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters who compete. It is an old school gym for the serious strength athlete, which also includes strongmen, body builders, and crossfitters. This is a USPA certified training and competition center as well and has held USPA competitions in the past. I believe one of the owners is a USPA director for California, but I could be wrong. Everything you want to train is available here, from combo racks for squats and bench press (ER Equipment), deadlift platforms and jacks, full and half power racks, and a monolift. There are eight total places to squat, nine places to bench, and six places to deadlift. There is a ton of equipment for accessories: reverse hyperextension GHD (glute-hamstring developer) glute drive vertical leg press bi-later and regular 45-degree leg presses hack squat power squat belt squat iso-lateral row iso-lateral pulldown iso-lateral high row iso-lateral shoulder press bi-lateral wide chess press multi-flex seated barbell shoulder press incline press rack free weight chin/dip machine supported T-bar two large cable-crossover machines with pulldown and row stations They also have all the isolation machines like, a prone and seated leg curls, standing and seated calf raises leg extension, hip adductor and abductor, sissy squat machine, French curl (triceps extension), standing and seated preacher curls, pec fly/rear deltoid, etc. There is too much to mention. And let's not forget the specialty bars and equipment: Ivanko competition discs, competition collars (power, squat, and deadlift bars: Rogue and Texas), wagon wheels, SSB bars, transformer bars, large Swiss bar, Kadillac bar, trap hex bars, axle bars, Slater log, cambered bench bars, chains, belts, knee wraps, fat grips, knee wrap roller, bumper plates, iron plates, chalk, tripods for phones, bands, kettlebells, belt buckle assister, etc. Lots of strongman equipment too like a yoke, tires, sledgehammers, sandbags, Atlas stones, a Husafell stone, the aforementioned axle bars and Slater log, etc. I am not a strongman, so I am probably omitting lots of stuff. You are free to use the parking area in back of the gym for this (parking lot is just for members and there is almost no traffic), as well a large field next to the gym in case you need a larger area. Finally, there dumbbells to 180 lb. (most gyms go to just 80 or 100 lb.), and some cardio, like Assault rowers, stair climber, ellipticals, and stationary bikes. Everything you could need is here. I can't list everything pr this review would go on for pages! :-) But the best thing about this place is the people here, both the owners and customers. No egos, friendly, polite, approachable, and dedicated to their sport. There is lots of encouragement and positive energy. I've had many a good conversation with people. One of the owners even comes each morning and does the cleaning himself. They take pride in this facility, and you can trust everyone. No stress. Many of the athletes here have also gone on to win titles in body building and powerlifting in various organizations. There is even a service dog of one of the members who is super kind and loves to be petted, which the owner let you do. The pricing is excellent too, both for monthly memberships and guest passes. Long-time trusted members can get a code which allows to train after hours, well into the early morning if they want. There is a credit card machine or a Venmo code in the front to pay, even when no staff is here. I come here every time I am in the Bay Area and purchase weekly passes. It is a little way from San Francisco, but it is worth the drive to me. They also have amenities like strong wifi, a unisex locker room, a medical scale, a microwave, a large refrigerator, water, paid drinks with pre-workouts and the like, couc”

“I rented space from Rachael at Mom Strong Studios for about 2 years. I can say that it was always a positive environment and as a renter she was very available and receptive to needs or changes and flexible whenever possible. Overall the class environment is always fun, accepting and motivating.
I would recommend Mom Strong for any trainers or coaches looking for a good work environment to be in and anyone else who isn’t really the big gym type but wants to get into fitness and be able to enjoy it!”

“I stop at these gyms when I'm traveling. Planet Fitness's are pretty consistent across the state ... with each site making a nice fit into each demographic area.”

“It's clean, has lots of machines available, and is in general so much calmer than the other gyms in the area I toured or tried out. I love the indoor track for when outside weather is prohibitive or it's too dark after work. Staff are friendly and helpful.”

“I love this place. Great variety of machines, weights, rooms & classes. The layout is good - it never seems crowded. This year I invested in a personal trainer 1x/week and absolutely love it. Totally worth it.”

“I’ve always been so happy with the Vacaville Elmira In-Shape. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. I frequently see staff out cleaning and wiping things down. Very important to me. They’re dry sauna and pool are amazing. So five stars for sure.”

“Nice place to get a quick workout on. Sunday equipment is a bit old and could use updating. The showers and bathrooms definitely need to be updated.
Convenient location and very friendly staff.”
